Gaza students, children acknowledge US college protesters

Dozens of Palestinian students and children staged a display of solidarity at a demonstration in southern Gaza on Sunday 28 April to express gratitude for the support seen on United States college campuses in recent weeks, write Tareq Alhelou, Kareem Khadder, Abeer Salman and Zeena Saifi for CNN.

Video from the Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah shows children holding banners with messages that read: “Students of Columbia University, continue to stand by us” and, “Violating our right to education and life is a war crime”.

The students gathered around makeshift tents near a school that now serves as a shelter for Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza. Footage shows people spray-painting messages of gratitude on the fabric of the tents. “Thank you, students in solidarity with Gaza. Your message has reached [us],” says one of the messages.
